Hi,Right now, my laptop is running 7.6.1, I was wodnering, should I take the OS back a few clicks? How much space would I save by taking it to 7.5.3? How much eye candy will I loose? Good ideas usually are created by crazy people, go figure... |

My favourite is 7.1. You can dress it up to be almost identical to 7.6.1 (or even 8.1), if you so desire.,xtG

I'd say keep 7.6.1, and just shave some extensions off, remember 7.6.1 is supposed to be the most stable 7.x.x  and I dont think it wouldnt save a lot of space to go back down… If I open my window all the bugs will get in…That's just one more reason to use a Mac!

How much RAM have you got? On my 180c (when it was still alive....RIP..... ), 7.6.1 ran quite well under 14 megs."**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers

7.6 runs quite decently on my 540c (12 MB RAM).
The only reason it's running 7.6, though, is because I had the install disc with the "Universal System Folder" feature.7.5.x might be slightly faster. ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit

Im not really concerned about spped, more about diskspace. As long as I can get Microsoft Word, AOL Instant Messanger, IE, and Armory Alley and a few other games Im looking for, Im happy. Anyone able to point me in the direction of some Microsoft Word disks for 68k Macs?Good ideas usually are created by crazy people, go figure... |

*raises hand…*
Ive got some Word 4.x disks… if You log on to my [probly tempry] Hotline server [pyrocat.dyndns.org], I could post them for you…
but I think that a nice copy of Claris Works 4.0 would be a lot better oh, and you might be able to convince me to post my 7.6.1 CD [I think it has a copy of Claris Works 4.0 on it ] If I open my window all the bugs will get in…That's just one more reason to use a Mac!

Cant get it now, PB180c is going to the chop, going to try and sell the RAM, Screen and Hardrive, in order to raise some capital inorder to buy myself a nice Duo 280c, then Ill take your disks Or, get another 180c, and keep the other for the eventual failures...
